Fountaingrove District is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in Sonoma County, California encircling the historic community of Fountain Grove adjacent northeast of the city of Santa Rosa. It was established as the state’s 144th and Sonoma County's 19th viticultural area on February 17, 2015 by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted by Douglas Grigg of Walnut Hill Vineyards, LLC, on behalf of the Fountaingrove Appellation Committee, proposing the viticultural area named "Fountaingrove District" northeast of the city of Santa Rosa. The new appellation expands roughly 38,000 acres (59 sq mi) with approximately 35 commercially-producing vineyards cultivating about 500 acres (200 ha). Primary grape varieties grown within Fountaingrove are Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Zinfandel, Syrah, and Viognier.
